A rapid chemical separation procedure for the determination of burn-up of nuclear fuel

  • 1. Stichting Energieonderzoek Centrum Nederland, Petten

Description

A chemical separation procedure for the determination of burn-up is described. The isolation of uranium, plutonium and neodymium is based on two ion-exchange separations, the first one an anion exchange in hydrochloric acid-nitric acid medium and the second one a cation exchange under high pressure with α-hydroxyisobutyric acid. Several experimental facts like chemical yields, contaminations and cross contaminations are discussed. (author)
